Review Quotes:
"Thanks to countless conversations that he animates vividly, John Mowitt demonstrates with rigor and intelligence that Theory is here and now, not as a series of concepts to be applied, but as a way of reading life and texts, thus offering an indispensable propaedeutic for our critical humanities." -Jean-Michel Rabaté, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Pennsylvania, USA, and Fellow, American Academy of Arts and Sciences
